In short: A great friendly 10K, good for PB's and good for beginners!In full: A lovely village centred 10K, good flat course, with friendly atmosphere! Great marshalls around the course cheering you on, and friendly villagers putting out drinks for runners too! Nice touch with T-shirts for sale with all names of runners on the back. Only one little niggle, not enough toilets lol - could do with a few in the parking field perhaps, other than that a great race :o)Date of review: April 7, 2007

In short: Flat Course, ideal for PBs. Friendly village atmosphere.In full: This is the third time I have done the Fradley 10K. It is always an enjoyable run. The locals turn out in force and the atmosphere is friendly and welcoming. Didn't quite hit my PB but did my second fastest 10K ever. Should it be called a P2B? One or two gripes this year. The Km markers were hard to spot, apart from the 1Km one, as they were painted on the road in yellow. The toilets have been busy every year so I expected this and planned accordingly. The price seemed a bit steep for just a medal. No goody bag or T shirt. My race number didn't arrive, as the Royal Mail refused to deliver it, as it only had a second class stamp on an A4 envelope. Having said that there was no problem getting an alternative number on the day. I guess we runners should be thankful for the people who put themselves out to organise and marshall the events. All we have to do is pay up, turn up and run. All in all - The weather was good, the run was enjoyable so thanks to all concerned and see you next year. p.s. anybody got the race results? Did you beat me John H?Date of review: March 15, 2007
